We must also take into account the popularity factor when it comes to
comparing WMF wikis. It is obvious of the advantage Wikipedia has over
all the other wikis in that is immensely more popular and is received
much more widely than all other wikis.
After pondering that for a while, one can conclude that we have come
full-circle with regards to previous thread, which discussed briefly the
dominance and level of "monopoly" Wikipedia has over the freely-editable
portion of the Internet.

I think you have something to the point that it has to do with "the
more flowing style found at Wikipedia". The failures of Wikinews and
Wiktionary are probably due in large part to imposition of too much
structure - in Wiktionary the formatting requirements, and in Wikinews
the short work cycles.
